There’s a picture I could have posted in last night’s entry, but it doesn’t quite fit with the creatures I mentioned before.  The salamander and mantis had both visited my house, but the picture below was taken in the public parking garage near where I work.  The garage has a built-in lighting system that is old and decrepit, and so a lot of the original fixtures just don’t light up.  There are newer lights that don’t seem so permanent, that have been tacked up to walls and ceilings in various places, and plugged into outlets via extension cords.

These lights tend to be pretty bright, but some are rather directional, and aren’t necessarily angled in an optimal fashion.  One light that shines outward from a pillar is in the area I usually park in, and one day I noticed a bunch of webs had been built in front of it, and they were occupied.

I would guess that this is a good location for catching moths and other light-attracted insects.  This is in the lower level of the parking structure, so it’s always dark there.  It must be good eating for these individuals.
